Since they to me, to me can be no more!

The clement heart, and curious, often calls

To view the naked park, and stripped walls:

E’en the damp walls their stony tears impart,

As if their master’s wound had pierc’d their heart.

Ye pensive mutes, ’tentive on Dilston wait,

And mourn, eternal Radclyffe’s tragic fate!
